Daly delighted with late draw

Jon Daly admitted his goal celebrations were tinged with a sense of relief after his 89th-minute strike earned Dundee United a point at St Mirren in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League. United had dominated and created a series of chances, but fell behind to Sean Lynch's debut goal after 73 minutes before captain Daly netted an equaliser to prevent his team undeservedly heading home empty-handed. Daly said: "We lifted it and battled away after they scored and got what was deserved, as we deserved at least a point out of the game. "Although it would have been great to get the win, we'll take a point having been a goal down with 15 minutes to go. "There was a sense of relief when the goal went in. It's a weight off your shoulders to equalise and it's just a shame that there were only a couple of minutes left and we didn't have time to go and get the winner. "We came here wanting to win and I think we were unfortunate that we didn't. We had plenty of crosses but it's turning them into chances, and the final ball is probably what let us down."
